CONNMARK Patching Problem

CONNMARK Patching Problem

[Matias Bjørling]

Hey! :D

I'm having a very anoying problem.

I have patched 2.4.18-19 kernels where both have the same problem, when i
run patch-o-magic on a fresh kernel, then when i come to where i can patch
the CONNMARK module into the kernel, it always fail, even if it's the only
thing i select, and with both kernels, even they both are fresh installed.

Testing... CONNMARK.patch NOT APPLIED ( 4 missing files)
The extra/CONNMARK patch:
   Author: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@marasystems.com>
   Status: working

<-Nice information about the module...-->

Im using from source

iptables 1.2.7a
patch-o-magic 20021008
have tried with newer cvs image patch-o-magic and did'nt even work
kernel 2.4.18-19 both have the same problem.

Does anybody know if theres a workaround for this thingie?.. or am i just
lost in my dreams until a new release come? Is there a way i can check what
the error is?

You've failed to read the docs :)

you didn't run ./runme --batch pending
after that CONNMARK works fine.

(two patches in pending won't apply correctly, they need to be applied
after the newnat patch and not before (just run the same command one
more time and they should apply), I've just fixed it in cvs)
